My name is Kate. I am wife to Eric, and mama to 5 little girls and one little man. While those are 2 of my favorite titles, I am also a daughter to an amazing mother, sister, foster mom, photographer, and a friend to some of the funniest ladies around.

I started this little blog back in 2008 when fellow friend bloggers insisted that I needed to do this seeing as I was about to have our 2nd set of twins. "You'll have so much to write about" they said. But I argued, "I won't be able to stick with it....when will I ever make the time??" But I found out quickly that I loved the community in this big blog world, and the rest is history.

I gave birth to Ella in 2004, Reese & Charlotte in 2006, Kinley & Raya in 2008, and Lincoln in 2011.

It's was a busy 6 years.

Oh, and yes, they are 2 sets of twins, no they don't run in our family, and yes I do have my hands full. But I love it, thankyouverymuch.

We are currently fresh into our foster to adopt journey. Strap in, cause it's all kinds of crazy.

Anyway, I love my many little loves, a girls night out, organic groceries, diet coke w/ crushed ice, taking pictures, weekend shopping trips, cookouts, bright colors, hummus...mmmm, laughing till I cry, and the smell of laundry out of the dryer. But most of all, we love the Lord. After all, He is the reason that we have what we do - and He is the One that loves us most.

And if you're wondering - I don't enjoy traffic, long lines, jello molds, strawberries, bad attitudes, muppets, or the circus. Random, but true.

I would love to hear from you!!

I'm so glad that you stopped by, and I look forward to getting to know you!

Ho-ly Smokes.....I was noticing that you had twins, and THEN I noticed that you had TWO sets of twins....Bless you, dear...Bless youAnd they don't run in the family?? Umm..I may have to get more info from you on that :) Because mine don'te either :)

:) Thanks for following me on Twitter. :) Loved the pigtail pix on Twitter and enjoyed reading your blog. :) We have one set of grand-twins (nope, doesn't run in family), over 9 grandkids (love em all), and my husband didn't just love having all girls - that's ALL he wanted :) :) :) Tho I must admit, these grandboys I am now surrounded with, (along with several grandgirls :)) are absolutely adorable too! Have a blessed week!

I love your blog! God bless you with 5 girls...I have identical girls that are 7! I am also the baby of 5 kids...4 girls and one boy...and love it. I see you are from Ohio...I was just in Cleveland last weekend for the first time ever. I really liked it...I look forward to following your blog. www.twin-spiration.com

You found my blog a couple of years ago and I just signed in (bless you for being able to keep up with it). I am thinking of reorganizing my blog and your blog is absolutely beautiful! Congrats on your beautiful babies! I love your about me section...we get all of the silly questions, too (especially, do they run in your family). However, we get the 'well, at least you got your boy' saying all of the time! I would rather have my hands and my heart full! :)

Although I read very few blogs (no time) I stumbled across yours and love it! You're my 2nd favorite blog now. My first favorite is www.themorristribe.com if you ever want to check it out (she's my friend so yes... I'm advertising her blog)! I'm also in Ohio. Thanks for the great laugh this morning and I hope you have a relaxing (as much as possible) day.

I read a couple of comments left on your post To My Only Son (And My Future Daughter-In-Law) and wanted to say how great your post was! Hilarious - my husband and I laughed a lot and being only a mother of one (a boy of 10 months) I understand EXACTLY where you're coming from. I hope to have more children in the future including a girl or two and I think I will always feel the way you say about my boy. And you're right, it's not favouritism but just a different type of relationship. Brilliant post, I'm sorry others didn't recognise your meaning! I'm so impressed with your ability to manage with such a large brood and only hope I can keep your humour when I have the same! xx
